Rules compendium

A World Torn by Gods, Waiting for Heroes.

The tale begins—not on the page, but at the table.

You bring the story. Narateer brings the spark.

You hold the tools to forge legends.

Every legend begins with trust at the table.

Same shape. Different voice. Every roll speaks.

Legacy burns before footsteps fall.

You were shaped before you chose to become.

Instinct breathes before skill takes hold.

Every step burns the fire that keeps you going.

Discipline carves purpose from potential.

The path to mastery begins with a single skill.

A title is given. An identity is earned.

Power emerges where story sharpens skill.

Steel is not strength. Strength is what remains when the steel breaks—and you keep fighting.

The world beyond the walls is not your enemy. It’s your ally—if you know how to listen.

You didn’t see them coming. You won’t see them leave.

“Don’t command magic; invite it—and pray it listens.”

The gods are shattered—but not silent. Some whisper mercy. Others demand bone.

Every hard-won change leaves its mark.

Intent becomes consequence.

Commit effort. Test preparation. Let consequence answer.

To cast magic is not just to act—it is to shift. To become a vessel and a channel of volatile power.

Collapse starts a clock. Aid can stop it.

One distance. Three ways to represent it.

Speed changes position. Position changes what happens next.

Combat is a Scene in which characters attempt to harm, hinder, or out-manoeuvre each other through force, weaponry, magic, or similar danger.

Three ways to frame a moment. One seamless system.

Every burden has a cost. Some are carried in hand. Others are carried in blood and breath.

Steel remembers the hand that carries it. Armour remembers the blow.

Use this table when designing combat modifiers, class powers, equipment traits, and tactical exceptions.
